, invention relates particularly an proved form, ofycoifee potponstructloni 7 whereby the same may be made andused more effectively than previously.

The object of my inventionisto provid'efan the filter coffee-4 pot as shown and described in my Patent No granted December 26; 1922. @More the object of my invention i's-to provide an improved means for holding the vide a frame for; supporting filter-cloth; which may be more readily manufactured and at a lower cost, and which will; further-f more, adjustitself; so asito fitwithin the cof Y feepot provided fo'r' receivinglthe;'isam e.

fingers on the filter clothretainiiig frame have been diificult to attach to the frame; and were generally of such .a character "as toibe difficult thermore, the manufacture of the frame was expensive. Accordingly,

I have provided a supporting frame in my present, invention for receiving the coffee-supporting filtercloth, which frame has laterally; bentextensions therein which, furthermore, may, be readily produced in the construction of the frame and which may be fitted readily to the interior of the coifeepot. This construction is such asto permit the automatic manufacture of the frame, also, becauseof the uniformity of the construction.

Fig.8 s a sideelevation. ofthe last-men 55 In orderto hold the filter-cloth in place in the frame 14 there is provided an inner frame having an upper ring 20 and two crossed wires21 and 22 arranged with downwardly bowed portions 23 .to project the filter-cloth. 15 downwardly between the crossed wires 17 and18 of the outer frame.

Also, at the top of each of the crossed wires "21 and22 there is provided a hook 24 which is designed ,to receive within the same the ring 16 on the outer frame, together with jth'e filter-cloth 15 folded over the same, so

as to tightly secure the filter-cloth in place and hold the whole frame-work, including the filter-cloth, tightly in position whilethe coffee is contained therein during the. brewing of the same. i

1 1n the modification of my invention shown in' Fi'gilll have made provisions for elimi na'ting, if desired, the use of the removable section 5. For this purpose I may provide a coii'eepot 25 having an upper substantially cylindrical portion 26 on the inside of which there is'an annular flange 27' for supporting thell'aterally bentportions 19 ofthe above mentioned frame17'. The frame 17,. aswill be seen from Fig. .11, also has a downwardly bent portion 28 terminating in a horizontal handle 29 so as to permit a cover 30, having a 30 a slot 31, to fit down over the handle 29to the d'esiredj depth; I f j v In the brewing of the coifeein the coifeepot of'the above construction, referring first to {Figsl to 10-,Ia fresh filter cloth 15 is first I QT "inserted betweenthetwo frames 14 and 20, thetwo frames being locked together withv the filter cloth between the same by forcing the ring 16 up into the hooks 24. The re-, 1 g quired amount of 'coffee' is now introduced into the filter-cloth 15 and the frames carry- 'ingthe cofi'ee are now inserted into the removable se'ctionfi' with the handle 13 project ing out through the hole therein. Or, if desired,.the framesdj l and 20 carrying the coffee'in'the filter-cloth therein, may be inserted into the coffee ot andthe removable section 5applied to t e coifeepot thereafter by 'passingthe hole 12 over the handle 13. In either case the composite framework comprising the frames 143 and 20, will rest upon and-fit against the flange 3 on the coffeepot so asto securely hold the framework in place during the brewing of the. coffee. The water v for the making of the coffee is introduced in the proper quantitythrough the opening H 'f 'i-n the funnel 6 so. that the water passes downwardly through the coffee in the filter cloth' 151 and thence eventually into the bot tom of the coifeepot 1. The cover 8 is then a minimum amount of time without leaching out-the undersirable constituents of the bean.

When the coffee has been brewed the removable section 5 and the framework carrying the filter-cloth 15 are removed and the cover 8 may be applied to the coffeepot, as shown in' Fig. 4, so as to make the coffee ready to be served from the coffeepot as desired.

In .the modification of my invention shown in Fig. 11, the operation is just the same as previously, described in conection with the other figures except that in this instance the brewing of the coffee takes place with the position of the parts as shown in Fig. 11, and

afterthe coffee is brewed the framework is removed by means of the handle 29, and the lid 30 is then replaced so as to rest upon the top of the extension 26.

While I have described my invention above in detail I wish it to be understood that many changes may be made therein without de parting from the spirit of the same.

I claim: I V p 1. In combination,a coffeepot, a cover for the same, and a framework having downwardly directed members forsupporting a coifee-filter-cloth in contact with said members, said members being bent or bowed outwardly along the "framework and being out of contact with thecloth for supporting the same inthe coffeepot, said cofl'eepot having a'fiange' for receiving said'bent portions thereon, and an upper flange for positioning said members above the first-mentione flange, said flanges having a cover-receiving recess between them of smaller height than the extremities of the laterally bent portions of said members.

2. In combination a coffeepot, a cover for the same, and a framework having downwardly directed 'members'for supporting a coifee-filter-cloth in contact with said members, said members being bent laterally in V-shaped extensions along the framework out of contact with the cloth for supporting the-same in the coife'epot, said coffeepot having a flange for receiving said extensions thereon, and an upper flange for positioning said members above the first-mentioned flange, said flanges having a cover-receiving recess-between them of smaller height than the extremities of the laterally bent portions of said members. 7

V 3. In combination, a cofi'eepot, a cover for the same, and a frameworkpcomprising inner and outer interlocking frames, said outer frame havingdownwardly directed members for supporting a coffee-filter-cloth in contact with said members,.said members being bent laterally along the framework out of contact with the cloth for supporting the same inthe coffeepot, said coffeepot having a fiange'forreceiving said bent portions thereon, and an upper flange forpositioning-said members above the first-mentioned flange, said flanges having a Cver-receiving recess between them of smaller height than the extremities of the laterally bent portions of said members. a I I v 4:. In combination, a cofleepot, a coverfor V the same, and a framework, comprising inner and outer interlocking frames, said outer frame having downwardly directed members for supporting a coflee-filter-cloth in contact with said members, said members being bent laterally in V-shaped extensions along the framework out of contact with the cloth for supporting "the same in the cofl'ee-; p0t, said cofleepot having a flange for receiving said extensions thereon, and an uper flange for positioning saidv members above the first-mentioned flange, said flanges having a cover-receiving recess between them of smaller height than the extremities of the .t

laterally bent portions of said members.

In testimony that I claim the-foregoing, I have hereunto set my hand this 20th day of March, 1928. EDWARD ABORN.
